Walking with the huskies is another great way to get to know Lappish nature and these enthusiastic Arctic animals. Upon arrival at the husky kennel, you will be welcomed by eager and friendly barking, as these dogs are keen to meet you! Your guide will share their knowledge of the life of the sled dogs and give you instructions on how to handle them. You will get to know your dog by name and the tricks they are capable of. June – September: The walk itself is on easy terrain, and you can spot various Arctic shrubs, berries, birds and perhaps even animals inhabiting the forests. After the hike it’s time to take the furry friends back to their kennels and feed them before rewarding yourself with warm drinks around the campfire. October – November: After learning the secrets of the sled dog life, you get to enjoy a warm beverage with the comfiness of fire inside a kota.
